Some key Super Eagles players like Victor Osimhen, Ademola Lookman, and Ola Aina are set to feature for Nigeria’s national team under new head coach Eric Chelle.
Osimhen, Lookman, and Aina are expected to play under Chelle for the first time since the Franco-Malian tactician was appointed manager of the Super Eagles a few weeks ago.
Recall that the Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, appointed Chelle in January to replace Augustine Eguavoen.
